By 2026, there will be no way around AI agents. Gartner predicts that by the end of the year, 40 percent of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents. Anyone who wants to keep pace with this development needs the ability to develop such virtual agents themselves. This is possible with the help of specialized solutions like Augmentir’s Industrial Agent AI Studio.

Secure and easy agent creation
The connected worker specialist will demonstrate at HANNOVER MESSE 2026 just how easy this is. Using an intuitive user interface and customizable templates, Augmentir guides managers through the creation of a wide variety of AI agents. Their areas of application range from occupational safety to process and quality management to maintenance. Employee training, skill, and knowledge management also play a central role. Thanks to no-code tools, no programming knowledge is required.

Agents for Maintenance, Occupational Safety, and Fault Analysis
As a concrete use case, visitors can experience specialized, ready-to-use maintenance agents. These guide machine operators through routines such as cleaning, inspecting, and lubricating, or assist technicians with complex interventions. The foundation is based on manuals and historical maintenance data. Through integration with CMMS systems, the agents plan and document measures and create work orders as needed.

Custom AI agents can also be defined for occupational safety. They access analyses of safety-relevant data and trigger alerts directly—naturally based on strictly defined parameters.

Anyone who wants to get to the bottom of a fault or malfunction can seek help from a pre-built “Root Cause Investigator.” This AI agent accelerates the systematic analysis of fault causes by sorting symptoms and correlating operational signals. And a “5-Why Coach” allows for the structured investigation of the underlying causes of problems in production, quality, occupational safety, or maintenance.

How AI Becomes a Personal Coach
The new technology also offers far-reaching benefits in internal training. Augmentir demonstrates how an agent becomes a Lean Coach right out of the box. In this role, the AI first evaluates existing documents. From this, it creates a lean management training program consisting of interactive micro-training modules and learning assessments. Using mobile step-by-step instructions, the agent then guides employees through their tasks at the workplace, thereby reinforcing standardized processes. A particular advantage of Augmentir: individualized support for each employee. Thanks to its integration with the built-in skill management system, the AI precisely addresses their knowledge, skills, and permissions.
